New list

Persons interested in joining a bulletin board consisting of rare book,
manuscript, archival curators and librarians should contact Peter Graham
at Rutgers University - graham [at] zodiac__bitnet

The board is called EXLIBRIS.

I will forward to EXLIBRIS Bob Futernick's (Fine Arts Museum of San
Francisco) 18 July query concerning exhibit labels containing binding
terminology. Believe me, if those guys can't answer it, no one can !

    **** Moderator's comments:   Peter Graham sends the following
    description of the new list:

The Rare Book, Manuscript & Special Collections Electronic Discussion
Group.

You may subscribe by sending a message to

    exlibris-request [at] zodiac__rutgers__edu

with a subject indicating subscription request ("Subscription request"
would do just fine) and a text which gives your name and electronic
address.  Give the address in as full a form as you can (i.e. include
the domain), e.g.

   Firstname J. Lastname    eaddress [at] node__domain__edu    OR
   Firstname J. Lastname    eaddress [at] nodename__bitnet   etc. etc.

Messages may be sent to the discussion group by e-mailing to:

ExLibris is an unmoderated news and discussion group for the purpose of
discussing matters related to rare book and manuscript librarianship,
including special collections and related issues.  Membership is open to
anyone who wishes to subscribe.  The contents are archived and will be
printed off at a future date for hard-copy donation to an appropriate
collection.  The full membership will be circulated from time to time
unless objections are heard.
